A local habitual felon who was out of prison on post-release supervision is behind bars again where he will stay for the next four to six years.

Donald Ramon Moore, 34, of New Bern, recently pled guilty to two felony drug charges, according to a release from District Attorney Scott Thomas, and as a result was “sent to prison as an Habitual Felon.”

The charges related to an incident on June 27, 2013, when he was arrested for possession of cocaine and heroin.

“He violated his conditions of release,” the statement said, “and the supervising officer obtained a warrant for his arrest.”

Moore was picked up at his residence where officers found 2.1 grams of heroin and 0.1 grams of cocaine in the front of his shorts.

Moore’s previous record includes at least three felony convictions for drug possession with intent to distribute.

Along with a sentence of 50 to 72 months, Moore was also ordered to pay court costs, attorney’s fees, a $600 laboratory fee, and forfeited two cell phones that he had when he was arrested. The phones will be turned over to the Craven County domestic violence shelter for reprogramming and use by domestic violence victims. Moore will also receive drug treatment while he is in prison.
